We moved in great shape. The entire group was out in 3 hours but the plane we are now at…Gee it’s terrible.
Had my first trip over the lines today in the SPAD and not quite as well pleased with same as I expected to be.

Was out on patrol this morning. Met 6 enemy planes. Had a combat without results. Have the SPAD in shape now and expect to go out tomorrow with a patrol. Just received news that we are moving tomorrow. Certainly we are leaving the finest home we have yet had.

Lt. Meissner and Lt. Coolidge brought down an enemy plane today. Lt. [William W.] Chalmers has failed to return. Up to a late hour.

Arrived here OK with new plane. Heard the 95th Squadron lost 2 men today, certainly hard luck.

Arranged for a 230 [horsepower] SPAD which I will fly out tomorrow. Had a trial trip today. It certainly is a most wonderful Buss.

Big day. We left for Paris. Most of the boys had a big time. I spent a peaceful afternoon and returning then went to bed.

Check out this 360 view near the Republic F-84E Thunderjet in the Korean War Gallery. Restoration Specialist Chad Vanhook painted the Four Queens artwork and most recently he painted the right side of the Memphis Belle nose art.

The 27th Squadron lost 2 more today. One of my hometown – [Lt. Walter B.] Wanamaker was his name. I must call on his family when returning home.
